Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo has vowed to leave the pitch if he is racially abused again in his career.

The forward, who is currently on loan from Shanghai Shenhua, revealed that he was called 'all sorts of names' by an opposition player during a match in China – something he reported to the Chinese FA.

No action was taken after Ighalo decided to 'let it go' but has now said he is prepared to walk off the pitch if he is subjected to racist abuse again.

'If it happens to me I would report it to the referee and see what they do, but if they don't take action about it then I'm going to walk off because it should not be done to any player or anyone in the world,' he told Sky Sports.
